·  Signed informed consent by parent/legal guardian of pediatric patient. In addition, participants with capacity for writing will sign off an Assent Form. Patients with no capacity for writing will have the Assent Form read. In that case, an impartial witness will certify the document was read to the child

·  Severe malnutrition
·  Asexual parasitemia: P. falciparum > 100,000 parasites/μL in blood smear at D-1 visit
·  Uncooperative or any condition that could make the patient potentially non-compliant to the study procedures
·  Impossibility to meet specific protocol requirements such as the impossibility to stay at hospital during the first 4 days of study participation or be followed up in ambulatory manner up to at least the 28th day inclusive
